Safeguarding Loved Ones During Life’s Transitions

When significant changes impact Marietta and Cobb County court-ordered arrangements, swift legal action becomes essential to protect your interests and maintain stability. Georgia law recognizes that circumstances change, allowing modifications to existing divorce decrees when substantial changes occur in either party’s situation.

Hill Macdonald, LLC, stands as Marietta’s trusted firm for post-divorce modifications. For over 25 years, our AV-rated firm has guided clients through complex post-divorce challenges, particularly those involving substantial assets and circuitous financial arrangements.

When Post-Divorce Legal Action Becomes Necessary

Several significant life changes may warrant modifications to your existing divorce decree:

• Job loss or income changes: A substantial shift in earning capacity might require adjustments to support payments. This is especially crucial for high-earning professionals facing career transitions
• Relocation considerations: Career advancement often necessitates geographic moves that require careful navigation of custody arrangements while maintaining children’s best interests
• Asset division complications: Discovery of previously undisclosed assets or noncompliance with property division orders demands prompt legal intervention.
• Support payment adjustments: Changes in financial circumstances may require modifications to alimony or child support arrangements

Each of these issues requires a focused legal strategy to protect your rights while ensuring compliance with Georgia’s family law standards.

Strategic Approach To Post-Divorce Modifications

We recognize that post-divorce modifications often involve complex financial considerations, particularly for our high-asset clients. Our approach includes:

• Comprehensive financial review: We analyze the current situation vs. the original agreement.
• Evidence gathering: Our lawyers collect and organize proof of significant income changes.
• Strategic negotiation: Seeking advantageous modifications while prioritizing out-of-court solutions.
• Litigation readiness: We are prepared for litigation if necessary.

Attempting to handle these matters independently often leads to costly mistakes, particularly in high-asset situations with substantial financial implications. Our trial attorneys bring focused family law experience to protect your interests.
